APP DATA 2020 - Programming II

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2021

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of programming using MATLAB and Excel. Programming topics include: syntax and semantics; data types, control 最新糖心Vlog, and functions; working with files and data; and the mechanics of running, testing, and debugging code. Problem-solving topics include: the role of algorithms in the problem-solving process; implementation strategies for algorithms; and the concept and properties of algorithms. Discipline-specific data will be used to provide real-world examples where programming skills are required.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course consists of:
- Lectures: 12 x 2hr per week
- Computer Practicals: 12 x 2 hrs per week
- Workshops: 12 x 2hrs per week
Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision)

Learning Activities Summary

No information currently available.

Specific Course Requirements

Compulsory attendance of the Computer practicals and Workshops is required as they address the key course learning objectives 1-4

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment Task	Task Type	Weighting	Hurdle Yes/No	Due	Learning Outcome
Programming practical (Five biweekly)	Summative	30%	No	Weeks 1-12	1,2,3,4
Concept quizzes (Five biweekly)	Summative	30%	No	Weeks 1-12	1,2,3,4
Discipline-specific research project	Summative	40%	No	Weeks 13	13

Assessment Related Requirements

Attendance at practicals and workshops is compulsory. The learning outcomes for this course are substantially dependent on
this hands-on experience and practice. Therefore, missing any practicals or workshops without an allowed absence will result in a grade of FAIL being recorded for the course. Students are able to apply for an allowed absence to the Course Coordinator.

Assessment Item	Requirement for Hurdle	Is additional assessment available if student does not reach hurdle requirement?	Details of additional assessment if known
Practicals and workhops are compulsory	Satisfactory completion of all practicals, including attendance of ALL practical and workshop sessions and reasonable attempt at ALL practical assessments	Yes	Missing any practical/workshop class or failing to submit a reasonable attempt at any practical report in a semester will result in a grade of FAIL being recorded for the course. Students with medical or compassionate reasons for non-attendance will be given an opportunity to compensate for missed practical/workshop sessions.

Assessment Detail

Programming practical (Five biweekly): Total of 30% of course grades
In this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate their ability to create MATLAB or Excel programs to solve a specific problem.

Concept quizzes (Five biweekly): Total of 30% of course grades
In this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate their understanding of concepts of programming

Discipline specific research project: Total of 40% of course grades
In this assessment, students will be required to generate an original programming approach to model, interpret and display a data set (typically fromthe area of the student’s discipline interest). The purpose of this assessment is for the student to demonstrate their ability to apply what they have learned throughout the course in the creation of a document (about 2000 words and figures) including programs (as an online appendix) to answer questions about discipline-specific data, along with a short video (10 minutes) explaining their work

Submission

Submission of Assigned Work
Instructions on submission of work will be available on MyUni

Extensions for Assessment Tasks
Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course
Co-ordinator before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time. The assessment extension application form can be obtained from:

Late submission of assessments
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.

Course Grading

Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
Grade	Mark	Description
FNS		Fail No Submission
F	1-49	Fail
P	50-64	Pass
C	65-74	Credit
D	75-84	Distinction
HD	85-100	High Distinction
CN		Continuing
NFE		No Formal Examination
RP		Result Pending

Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Final results for this course will be made available through .

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
